Served with Jim in the Marine Corps and luckily I saw him again several years ago. He was a good guy and liked to have fun! Sorry to hear of his passing.

My condolences to Joanie. I am sorry that I hadn't seen much of Uncle Jim after my mom passed away but he was very much a part of my childhood. He and my mom were very close and he was such a sweet soul. Very sad.

Jim was my first friend and mentor at Sanofi. I truly loved and adored him. He went to school in South Scranton with my parents. We traveled to many conferences together and he would alway have the plan for our dinner,and timing so he could get his steak and shrimp cocktail in time for getting back to watch his Jeopardy program. I am so blessed to have know him. Sending love and condolences to his family. There will never be another Blobner!
